Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

      They won’t. They never leave, at least not enough to make a difference. I’ve long since given up hoping in people to do the right thing.

        I run several communities on discord with hundreds of people in them. I can’t just leave.

        I want to leave. but I can’t force people to move to a new app just for one community.

        its a complicated issue for those that use it for communities. we are working on trying to move off.
